Description

Almost a full moon tonight; lighting up the night sky. Gave M13 a shot, on the opposite side of the sky as the Moon. Started a little too late and got just 15 mins of time on it, before it was hidden by trees to the West of my location.

I found this to be quite small for a APS-C sensor through a 400mm lens, especially with the 3.9um pixel size on this sensor. The image here is a heavy crop-in to what the camera produced.

Given all these issues, the capture still clearly displays the "spidery" legs at the periphery and the large "propeller" feature. So it's definitely M13!
